There are three major items that need to be in place for a property to be considered “legal horse property”... |
|
1) Zoning- each county has rules and regulations for different types of zoning. Be sure to check to see if zoning allows for horses and if so, how many and if there are any additional restrictions.
|
|
2) Covenants- some areas have homeowner rules and regulations that are established and enforced by the homeowner association. Check to made sure that these rules allow for horses and if so, how many and if there are any restrictions (construction of barns, fencing, etc.).
|
|
3) Water- this is the big one! Many properties that are conducive for horses do not have a legal source for watering of the horses. Many wells that are in use are “household use only” wells and cannot be used for watering of horses. In that case, water can be hauled in. Don’t assume that a stream or pond can be used for watering horses either. Water law in Colorado is very complicated, and each property is different. It is wise to check with authorities before purchasing a property for horses.
